The forgotten hour.

Posted 05-10-2008 at 08:50 PM by Wings of Fire
Ever notice how some things seem a little...different at 5am?

How little bumps and creaks seem to be slightly...louder?

How the chavs outside your window seem a little more...menacing?

How the way the world works seems a little...simpler?

How ideas you would never consider in a million years suddenly seems like a fantastic solution?

For the last year I have been, rather unhealthily, going to bed at the very late hour of dawn and have noticed a subtle change in the world that seems to persist untill around half eight where the 'normal' people start to venture outside.

This surely cannot be just down to tiredness, I average six hours sleep a night and everything feels fine on days where I go to sleep/wake up early.

So as I'm waiting here, browsing old threads and clicking the refresh button every 5 seconds on DA to find. much to my disgust, another page full of armature Sasuke yaoi I ponder what exactly happens to the human mind at this time of morning, even with such a screwed up body clock as I have.

Any thoughts?

FIVE AY EMM?

Well, this time of the day/night is simply devoid of almost all life. Most are asleep, nothing is on T.V. except shitty porn, and the few remaining souls are mindless lunatics for the most part. (I.E. Chavs in England, Skaters or Wankstas in America) The few that dare to carve a slight laceration of normality into this madness must face the fact that everything around them is what makes the world a bad place. Keep that in mind until the sun rises.

I thought 'the hour' was at 3 AM, and was called the hour of wolves..?

Oh well, different places, different customs.

Me too. I think I might turn in for the morning. See you all for a late lunch!

I used to live like you. Then I found daylight actually made me more productive. Still, the night time is generally when I feel more alert. I wanted to say ‘more alive’, but it’s the strange removal from reality and life that makes it what it is.

The chavs are never menacing.

Anything's menacing in the pre dawn glow, I swear the milkman threw me an odd look a few days ago. He either wanted to follow me home and slaughter my family or really liked my ass.

In other news I went to bed at a half decent hour last night, by half decent I mean 4am, where there are still some harmless drunks in the streets and the birdsong is more of an annoyance than a cacophony

I am a night person and so the best of both worlds, stay up late, go to bed early.

Ahh student life.
